2. Finally, a place to call home.

I woke up with my father yelling at nothing. I quietly got up and snuck up the stairs, he turned around and saw that I was gone and began to chase after me. I began to run, very very fast. I felt as if my legs were going to fall off. I heard his pickup truck start up, so I ran to a near by tree and stayed up in the tree as he drove by.. As soon as he drove by I got down and ran to a white house with a green trim and knocked on the door. "hello." answered the woman "hi, help me my father is going to hurt me" I said panicky. The woman with a puzzled look on her face invited me in. As I walked in the door 5 guys came running downstairs and stopped at the end of the stairs and were speechless, they looked about my age so I was thinking that we would all be best friends. **10 Years Later** That day still haunts me, I am still so afraid to drive past that house where my father continues to live. He still has that rusty old pickup. I can not go out anywhere except school in case my father were to recognize me. The lady that saved me that day is now my adoptive mother and Louis, 1 of the 5 boys is now my adoptive brother. The boys and I are best friends. They only happen to be 1 year older than me. My mom makes me go to a different school than Louis because shes afraid we will get bullied. And I'm kinda awkward when it comes to making friends, considering what happened. The only friend I have is Peyton. She was the only one that was nice to me when I first moved here. The school is the only school that knows about my passed and to everyone, I'm the girl with the sycho father who killed his family and is still on the run.
